Ski injury? ID picture please.....

[ogfeez]

saw this on the oakley website awhile ago and wanted to see ppl's input on what this is. Looks like some sort of medical procedure. It goes around the scapula as if they were checking lung sounds or possible images of the lung. Can't tell looks to uniform for that to be the ski injury. I'm thinking something internal. And not sure who it is either.... Sammy? maybe a snowboarder on the oakley team. It was a screen shot taken during the "Oh yeah" campaign that oakley was doing.

actually now that i look at it. It's some sort of suction....... but i have no idea what procedure that is. Prob not accupuncture since it's a perfect circle

 

[Hansel.]

its some weird accupuncture/ clensing shit. they put this thing that looks like a bell and suck all the air out and it cleanses your or some shit. saw it on the travel channel

 

[cheaaaaaa]

i dont really know but my guess is that its from some kind of laser therapy type shit
i had to get this thing fixed with a laser on my face and i remember it being purple like that but not exactly the same size

ahhh... i recognize these. haha they are hickies from a high-powered shop vac. We did this to my friend and he was freaking out. it was so funny. Your skin gets sucked like 3 inches into the hose.

or the post above my, but the shop vacs do the same thing, but just not therapeutic.

I'm just baffled as to why someone would want to do that...

its cupping. They use it with acupuncture. I had to do it a ton while rehabbing from a shoulder injury. It's not some sort of miracle procedure or anything, but it worked for me temporarily. For some people, acupuncture does wonders.

ughh i hate that cupping shit, my aunt brought them back from china, but the ones I got were ones with a metal pointy thing in the middle thats supposed to work as acupressure, so uncomfortable, and those marks stayed on me for a good week or so.

 

[mr_shifty]

it feels so good, i have had it done when i had back problems i have also had acupuncture.
basically it is a suction process where you light a match in the cup that sucks all of the air out and then you move it around on your back
the darker the color turns is based on how tight your muscles are. dark purple= really tight muscles
it looks weird but for me it does wonders

hahahaha it looks like those weirdo nipple pump things that those sadomasochists use

don't ask me how i know that.
